A Tale
of Football Obsessionby

Foreword by Sir Alex FergusonE

"You
know who your friends are when the room goes dark and everybody
leaves. When the light comes on and you look around, your friends
are the ones still there with you." SIR ALEX FERGUSON

Manchester United fans owe
a great deal to Sir Alex Ferguson. The Manchester United manager
is one of the most respected and successful characters in British
sport today but were it not for the likes of Andy Pacino and his
brothers Rod and Gary, he may have been lost to United before he
had a chance to weave his managerial magic. In 1989, when United
faced relegation, a takeover bid and the manager lived with the
constant threat of the sack, there were few United fans who offered
their manager moral support. The 'Ferguson out' brigade were prominent,
while the press regarded the Scot's tenure as merely temporary.
Rod, Gary and Andy were the few who supported the manager, believing
in him despite the doubters. In 'Sir Alex, United and Me' the author
examines the relationship between his brothers, the club they remain
devoted to and the mastermind of United's success throughout the
past decade.
